Comment Deadline: 11:59pm Mountain, July 5 Prize: $30 gift certificate to Verve Happy Friday! My card today is just as much a surprise for me as you! The power went out last night in the area and I literally made this card in the dark with a flashlight tucked under my chin. When the power came on around 3 am(yes, I was up....no air and it was too hot to sleep) I had to go check out what I had made. Not too bad for the dark, huh? LOL! For my card I am using Viva La Verve July Week 1 sketch. Amber designed this sketch. Fun sketch, Amber! Check out the link to find out how to play along with us this month. I am using Verve's Blue Skies stamp set for the sentiment, Verve's Flutterby die, and Charming Oval dies. I added some clear flourished gems and a bow to finish my card.
